Description
Canada shared a rich, multi-faceted history with China long before it recognized the PeopleÂ?s Republic of China in 1970. John Meehan brings to light the activities of early Canadian missionaries, businessmen, government officials, and adventurers in Shanghai Â? the gateway to China and an important cultural contact zone. These sojournersÂ? experiences Â? which unfolded against a backdrop of war and revolution and CanadaÂ?s own evolution from colony to nation Â? reflected CanadaÂ?s deepening relationship with China and the troubling asymmetries that underpinned it. Although Canadians, like other foreigners, had left Shanghai by the early 1950s, their lives and activities foreshadowed more recent Canadian initiatives in China.
